ISO/TC 172/SC 3/WG 2 - Coatings

This document specifies filter functions of uncoated bulk absorption filters for optical applications excluding ophthalmic optics (spectacles) and gives a standard form for their specification. Additionally, basic definitions and a description of the specification concerning optical bulk absorption filters are given. This document specifies the optical properties of the filters and the test and measurement methods whenever necessary. This document does not specify any material properties (internal quality, homogeneity, etc.) and it does not apply to any production method. This document applies to both the raw material (filter glass, filter plastics, etc.) and the polished component. NOTE 1  Colorimetric parameters for the description of the filter function are specified in e.g. ISO 11664‑1 and ISO 11664‑2. NOTE 2  For filters where the spectral transmission characteristics are achieved by the application of optical coatings, see ISO 9211 series. NOTE 3  In the case of high power applications, further optical effects may occur.

This document specifies minimum requirements for the optical functions and especially for the laser power handling capability as well as for the resistance against mechanical, chemical and climatic stress of optical coatings. This document applies to optical coatings that are used in laser optics. Thereby the user is able to rely on defined numerical data while the manufacturer of thin films has the choice for the materials and production method.

This document specifies minimum requirements for the optical effects and the mechanical, chemical and environmental properties of antireflecting coatings. This document applies to antireflecting coatings for optical applications. Thereby the user is able to rely on defined numerical data while the manufacturer of thin films has the choice for the materials and production method.

This document specifies minimum requirements on the optical effects and the mechanical, chemical and environmental properties of reflecting metal coatings. This document applies to reflecting metal coatings based on aluminium or silver for optical applications. Thereby the user is able to rely on defined numerical data while the manufacturer of thin films has the choice for the materials and production method.

This document defines terms relevant to optical coatings. These terms are grouped in four classes: Terms and definitions, definition of coatings by function, definitions of common coating imperfections and other definitions. This document identifies surface treatments of components and substrates excluding ophthalmic optics (spectacles) by the application of optical coatings and gives a standard form for their specification. It defines the general characteristics and the test and measurement methods whenever necessary, but is not intended to define the process method.

This document specifies minimum requirements on the optical effects and the mechanical, chemical and environmental properties of neutral beam splitter coatings. This document applies to neutral beam splitter coatings for optical applications. Thereby the user is able to rely on defined numerical data while the manufacturer of thin films has the choice for the materials and production method.

ISO 9211 describes surface treatments of components and substrates, excluding ophthalmic optics (spectacles), by the application of optical coatings and gives a standard form for their specification. It defines the general characteristics and the test and measurement methods wherever necessary, but it is not intended to define the process method. ISO 9211-4:2012 describes specific test procedures for coating environmental durability tests that are identified in ISO 9211-3 but not described in other normative references. They are typically performed in sequence with other environmental durability tests, as shown in ISO 9211-3:2008, Annex A.

The ISO 9211 seriesidentifies surface treatments of components and substrates excluding ophthalmic optics (spectacles) by the application of optical coatings and gives a standard form for their specification. It defines the general characteristics and the test and measurement methods whenever necessary, but is not intended to define the process method. ISO 9211‑2:2010 indicates how to specify optical properties of coatings and to represent their spectral characterization graphically.

ISO 9211 identifies surface treatments of components and substrates excluding ophthalmic optics (spectacles) by the application of optical coatings and gives a standard form for their specification. It defines the general characteristics and the test and measurement methods whenever necessary. It is not intended to define the process method. ISO 9211-3:2008 specifies categories of use for optical coatings and identifies which environmental tests are necessary to prove that the coatings meet the required specification.

The ISO 9211 series identifies surface treatments of components and substrates excluding ophthalmic optics (spectacles) by the application of optical coatings and gives a standard form for their specification. It defines the general characteristics and the test and measurement methods whenever necessary, but is not intended to define the process method. ISO 9211‑1:2010 defines terms relevant to optical coatings. These terms are grouped in four classes: basic definitions, definition of coatings by function, definitions of common coating imperfections and other definitions.

ISO 9211-4:2006 describes surface treatments of components and substrates excluding ophthalmic optics (spectacles) by the application of optical coatings, and gives a standard form for their specification. It defines the general characteristics and the test and measurement methods whenever necessary, but is not intended to define the process method. ISO 9211-4:2006 describes specific test procedures for coating environmental durability tests that are identified in ISO 9211-3 but not described in other normative references.
